[QUOTE="pmshop, post: 61077, member: 3174"] Unless it says electronically filed (specific initials I cannot remember) then no, it is not enough. First off, make sure you zoom in as close as possible to your flight area. AirMap displays ALL cautions/ restrictions that are on the view screen. Example: Zoom out enough, and a NFZ will tell you it is not safe to fly but the zone is 40 miles away from where you are flying. So zoom in all the way and the screen will only display about 200-300ft area so AirMap will ONLY show cautions restrictions within that screen. On another note, depending on the class air space and traffic, you could ask if the airport operator needs notification to the entire 5 miles out. My case in point: My home is within 4.8mi from the airport and 3.5 miles from the hospital helipad. The original airport operator said just notify him if the flight is within a mile...until some dumas (not me) crashed a drone on the taxiway of the airport - then he said 3 miles. So don't have to call. Hospital safety supervisor said the Medivac helicopters are never in my area for approach or departure so I am good out here too. You never know until you ask? All they can do is say no - keep calling, right? [/QUOTE]
